Flat earth depends on proof by lack of evidence

It just dawned on me, can't believe I didn't realize this earlier, but the main flat earth argument depends on proof by lack of evidence. They'll say that we don't see a curve (lack of evidence) therfore the earth is flat (proof).

Excellent. The Spherical Earth relies on the idea that you could never see the curve from normal height. The lack of proof for a normal observer is normal. The fact of the matter is that if the Earth is a sphere by our measurements, you don't see the curvature. Our model makes that prediction. The prediction is fulfilled perfectly. Why is lack of a curvature evidence of a flat Earth when for a normal observer it fits evidence of a spherical Earth?

Yep, except I bypass explaining that to them because it's simpler to just tell them that I've flown in planes and have seen curvature every time.

Well falsification is the best path given that REers refuse to learn any FE model: so there's hardly any way to prove something you don't understand.

You're entire model is a falsification so STFU already.
